Reports of gunfire led officers to the bodies of two men inside a parked car late Wednesday, authorities said.

Tre Scott, 19, and Jordy Williams, 26, both of Thibodaux, were found about 10 p.m. in the 100 block of Iris Street, Thibodaux Police spokesman David Melancon said.

Police have not announced a motive or identified a suspect.

Williams is the half brother of Carnell McIntyre, according to family members who stood by and watched as detectives worked.

McIntyre, 21, was killed earlier this month. His body was found Sept. 8 on Ridgefield Road, just north of the Marydale community.

McIntyre had been shot multiple times in the head, according to the Lafourche Sheriff's Office. The wounds were consistent with shots fired at point-blank range.

He was last seen getting into a car with two women at the Rak-N-Dak convenience store near his mother's house in the 1200 block of St. Charles Street, said his mother, Jennifer McIntyre.

Police haven't yet revealed a motive or suspect in McIntyre's death.

Wednesday's double homicide brings September's murder total in Lafourche to five and is the second double murder in a week. None have been solved; all the victims were shot.

Nikki Landry, 41, and Harry Lefort, 54, were found inside Landry's apartment at 102 W. 4th St., Sunday by a member of Landry's family.

No motive has been established, though evidence suggests that robbery wasn't the reason, police said. Money and valuables were left behind. Detectives also discovered drugs inside the apartment, but Matherne wouldn't say what type or how much.

Landry was a confidential police informant scheduled to testify this week in an accused drug dealer's trial, prosecutors have said. That trial went forward as planned and is expected to conclude today.
